1 When Jesus to the temple came,
The voice of praise was heard,
The little children owned his claim,
And in his train appeared,
Singing glory, glory, glory be to God on high.

2 Hosannas made the temple ring,
For many tongues agreed;
Hosanna to the heavenly King,
To David's promised seed.
Singing glory, glory, glory be to God on high.

3 O let those scenes be now renewed,
Where children lisp thy praise!
Thou art as gracious and as good
As in the former days
Singing glory, glory, glory be to God on high.

4 Dwell by thy Gospel in our hearts,
And this will loose our tongues;
The love that heavenly truth imparts,
Will animate our songs,
Singing glory, glory, glory be to God on high.

Author: Thomas Kelly

Kelly, Thomas, B.A., son of Thomas Kelly, a Judge of the Irish Court of Common Pleas, was born in Dublin, July 13, 1769, and educated at Trinity College, Dublin. He was designed for the Bar, and entered the Temple, London, with that intention; but having undergone a very marked spiritual change he took Holy Orders in 1792. His earnest evangelical preaching in Dublin led Archbishop Fowler to inhibit him and his companion preacher, Rowland Hill, from preaching in the city. For some time he preached in two unconsecrated buildings in Dublin, Plunket Street, and the Bethesda, and then, having seceded from the Established Church, he erected places of worship at Athy, Portarlington, Wexford, &c, in which he conducted divine worship and preached.
